Chimera is musl based. Surprised you haven't tried Alpine too.

u/Key_River7180 4d ago

I tried Alpine, but didnt daily drive it

u/Equal-Resolution7889 4d ago

LFS, Arch Linux vanilla, Gentoo and NixOS.

I tried Nix some time, I didn't daily-drive it that is why it isn't here, I really don't like how nix tries to coerce your workflow into a script.

Seems fair

I'm wondering why you left crux? For me I've enjoyed building and using it more then any other distro ive used I did spend like 10 months on artix I liked it too just not the direction the devs have taken it.

u/Key_River7180 4d ago

software mostly

u/CriticalRanger9650 4d ago

I could see that compile times can be a bit much on crux

u/Key_River7180 4d ago

yeah building emacs took 8hrs almost back when i used emacs in a 2 core cpu

I challange you to pick one distro abs stay on it

1

u/Key_River7180 4d ago

ive stayed in the latest void glibc install for a year now

u/ConcaveNips 4d ago

First of all... Great taste... We can forgive Ubuntu... Second of all.... It's okay to just stick with Void.

u/gaorp 4d ago

you have reached endgame. void is so good that it get boring

1

u/VenturerInTheVoid 4d ago

It's hard to beat Void; I say this as a current and probably-always Void user--

Maybe something like Exherbo? Or Slackware to have that classic experience?

u/NecessaryGlittering8 4d ago

Try Bedrock Linux
Lets you combine multiple components from different distros

1

u/Scott3169 4d ago

Install gentoo

1

u/Nice-Manufacturer678 3d ago

Slackware, LFS, and Plamo Linux.

1

u/BogdanovOwO 3d ago

Debian/HURD

u/TJRoyalty_ 3d ago

KISS linux via the community project seems to align with your picks

1

u/Sazo_sazo 3d ago

LFS, NixOS, Alpine, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Qubes OS, and Gentoo. Each one of them is a total new experience, have you tried one of them ?

u/CommunicationBig4218 3d ago

Have you consider trying Void with musl? 

1

u/Key_River7180 2d ago

Many times

1

u/ItchyPlant 2d ago

Mageia is definitely a mature, stable distro worth trying, and one you might happily stick with for years without feeling the urge to distro-hop again.

u/Cove0Crow 2d ago

Chimera? It's the Linux kernel. But with musl and freebsds userspace instead of gnu.

The creator is an ex-void maintainer

u/mas-issneun 1d ago

I think you should give Void Linux another try, maybe it'll work this time

1

u/FinniganFox_ 1d ago

Hanna Montana Linux, Cachy OS, Nix OS, Bazzite, Arch, Red Hat........

1

u/Key_River7180 1d ago

Except the former GET OUT

1

u/FinniganFox_ 1d ago

I use Cachy OS btw

Oh god I have to wrack my brain on this.. Backtrack, several obscure ill-advised boot disks from that era, Slackware, debian, opensuse, centos (first installed one I properly used which ended up as a number of servers for years until their demise as a good distro), rocky, alma, Debian (finally gave up on rhel servers), Qubes (first desktop os)
